00:03:40.780 --> 00:03:43.340
How<00:03:41.000><c> do</c><00:03:41.159><c> you</c><00:03:41.300><c> sustain</c><00:03:41.780><c> a</c><00:03:42.000><c> man</c><00:03:42.199><c> for</c><00:03:42.520><c> 40</c><00:03:42.879><c> days</c>

Elijah<00:04:04.419><c> is</c><00:04:04.780><c> distraught,</c><00:04:05.379><c> and</c><00:04:05.539><c> God</c><00:04:05.719><c> knows</c><00:04:06.000><c> he's</c><00:04:06.300><c> distraught.</c>

00:04:08.860 --> 00:04:11.099
He's<00:04:09.419><c> at</c><00:04:09.560><c> his</c><00:04:09.740><c> lowest</c><00:04:09.939><c> point.</c>

To<00:04:13.520><c> fully</c><00:04:14.080><c> understand</c><00:04:15.240><c> where</c><00:04:16.899><c> Elijah</c><00:04:17.319><c> is,</c>

00:04:18.379 --> 00:04:19.279
this<00:04:18.480><c> is</c><00:04:18.579><c> what</c><00:04:18.680><c> we</c><00:04:18.879><c> need</c><00:04:19.019><c> to</c><00:04:19.199><c> do.</c>

00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:25.040

Romans<00:04:25.300><c> 11.</c>

00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:30.939
I'm<00:04:27.420><c> sure</c><00:04:27.579><c> it's</c><00:04:28.759><c> probably</c><00:04:29.040><c> marked</c><00:04:29.339><c> in</c><00:04:29.519><c> most</c><00:04:29.720><c> all</c><00:04:29.860><c> of</c><00:04:29.959><c> our</c><00:04:30.160><c> Bibles.</c>

00:11:41.100 --> 00:11:44.500
Elijah<00:11:41.419><c> had</c><00:11:41.840><c> stood</c><00:11:42.139><c> on</c><00:11:42.460><c> Mount</c><00:11:42.720><c> Carmel</c><00:11:43.200><c> challenging</c><00:11:43.960><c> the</c><00:11:44.259><c> people</c>

00:11:58.460 --> 00:12:01.139
God<00:11:58.980><c> will</c><00:11:59.279><c> rebuke</c><00:11:59.820><c> Elijah,</c><00:12:00.340><c> but</c><00:12:00.440><c> he</c><00:12:00.580><c> will</c><00:12:00.759><c> do</c><00:12:00.940><c> it</c>

They<00:12:17.539><c> are</c><00:12:17.740><c> in</c><00:12:17.899><c> response</c><00:12:18.519><c> to</c><00:12:18.740><c> Romans</c><00:12:19.039><c> 11.</c>

00:12:20.340 --> 00:12:22.039
See<00:12:20.500><c> Elijah</c><00:12:20.899><c> came</c><00:12:21.279><c> to</c><00:12:21.519><c> Mount</c><00:12:21.740><c> Horeb</c>

00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:24.720
and<00:12:22.120><c> he</c><00:12:22.340><c> had</c><00:12:22.519><c> to</c><00:12:22.779><c> learn</c><00:12:22.899><c> the</c><00:12:23.159><c> lesson</c><00:12:23.600><c> of</c><00:12:23.919><c> Romans</c><00:12:24.279><c> 11.</c>

00:12:33.700 --> 00:12:36.200
Behold<00:12:33.980><c> Yahweh</c><00:12:34.379><c> passed</c><00:12:34.759><c> by</c><00:12:35.019><c> in</c><00:12:35.179><c> a</c><00:12:35.299><c> great</c><00:12:35.500><c> and</c><00:12:35.799><c> strong</c><00:12:35.960><c> wind,</c>

00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:47.620
And<00:12:46.460><c> after</c><00:12:46.659><c> the</c><00:12:46.799><c> earthquake,</c><00:12:47.200><c> a</c><00:12:47.440><c> fire,</c>

00:12:47.740 --> 00:12:49.139

00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:52.679
And<00:12:49.940><c> after</c><00:12:50.179><c> the</c><00:12:50.419><c> fire,</c><00:12:50.799><c> a</c><00:12:50.980><c> still</c><00:12:51.259><c> small</c><00:12:51.620><c> voice.</c>

00:12:53.340 --> 00:12:55.960
So<00:12:53.799><c> if</c><00:12:53.940><c> you</c><00:12:54.100><c> thought</c><00:12:54.279><c> Carmel</c><00:12:54.679><c> was</c><00:12:54.879><c> amazing,</c>

00:12:55.980 --> 00:12:57.620
it<00:12:56.139><c> paled</c><00:12:56.299><c> by</c><00:12:56.620><c> comparison.</c>

00:12:57.980 --> 00:13:00.799
First<00:12:58.220><c> comes</c><00:12:58.620><c> the</c><00:12:59.019><c> hurricane</c><00:12:59.500><c>-like</c><00:12:59.799><c> wind,</c><00:13:00.220><c> so</c><00:13:00.500><c> strong</c>

00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:02.100
it<00:13:00.980><c> can</c><00:13:01.179><c> pick</c><00:13:01.379><c> up</c><00:13:01.539><c> the</c><00:13:01.740><c> boulders</c>

00:13:02.100 --> 00:13:04.500
and<00:13:02.340><c> smash</c><00:13:02.659><c> them</c><00:13:02.879><c> against</c><00:13:03.179><c> the</c><00:13:03.419><c> side</c><00:13:03.559><c> of</c><00:13:03.720><c> the</c><00:13:03.799><c> mountain.</c>

00:13:04.860 --> 00:13:07.700
Elijah<00:13:05.320><c> quickly</c><00:13:05.779><c> recedes</c><00:13:06.220><c> into</c><00:13:06.500><c> the</c><00:13:06.700><c> cave</c><00:13:06.919><c> for</c><00:13:07.179><c> shelter</c>

00:13:08.179 --> 00:13:10.840
because<00:13:08.639><c> the</c><00:13:08.960><c> power</c><00:13:09.259><c> of</c><00:13:09.519><c> the</c><00:13:09.700><c> wind</c><00:13:09.860><c> is</c><00:13:10.139><c> so</c><00:13:10.539><c> strong.</c>

00:13:11.019 --> 00:13:11.960
And<00:13:11.059><c> had</c><00:13:11.259><c> he</c><00:13:11.419><c> not</c><00:13:11.620><c> done</c><00:13:11.779><c> that,</c>

00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:14.259
it<00:13:12.039><c> would</c><00:13:12.240><c> have</c><00:13:12.340><c> probably</c><00:13:12.620><c> blown</c><00:13:12.799><c> him</c><00:13:12.940><c> right</c><00:13:13.100><c> off</c><00:13:13.279><c> the</c><00:13:13.419><c> mountain.</c>

00:13:14.779 --> 00:13:16.179
But<00:13:14.919><c> God</c><00:13:15.059><c> was</c><00:13:15.320><c> not</c><00:13:15.500><c> in</c><00:13:15.659><c> the</c><00:13:15.840><c> wind.</c>

00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:20.100
There<00:13:16.679><c> was</c><00:13:16.899><c> no</c><00:13:17.179><c> voice</c><00:13:17.940><c> that</c><00:13:18.600><c> came</c><00:13:18.840><c> out</c><00:13:19.019><c> of</c><00:13:19.139><c> the</c><00:13:19.299><c> wind.</c>

00:13:20.220 --> 00:13:22.059
Secondly<00:13:20.740><c> comes</c><00:13:21.120><c> the</c><00:13:21.600><c> earthquake.</c>

00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:23.419
And<00:13:22.360><c> again,</c><00:13:22.860><c> picture</c><00:13:22.919><c> the</c><00:13:23.220><c> scene.</c>

00:13:23.700 --> 00:13:26.620
Elijah<00:13:23.840><c> recedes</c><00:13:24.360><c> into</c><00:13:24.580><c> the</c><00:13:25.720><c> cave</c><00:13:26.000><c> in</c><00:13:26.200><c> the</c><00:13:26.360><c> mountain</c>

00:13:28.100 --> 00:13:31.500
Where<00:13:28.299><c> do</c><00:13:28.460><c> you</c><00:13:28.580><c> go</c><00:13:29.139><c> when</c><00:13:30.120><c> you're</c><00:13:30.340><c> up</c><00:13:30.440><c> in</c><00:13:30.519><c> a</c><00:13:30.679><c> mountain?</c>

00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:34.820
In<00:13:31.860><c> a</c><00:13:32.059><c> cave</c><00:13:32.340><c> and</c><00:13:32.860><c> the</c><00:13:33.039><c> mountain</c><00:13:33.379><c> starts</c><00:13:33.720><c> to</c><00:13:34.039><c> shake.</c>

00:13:35.379 --> 00:13:37.600
You<00:13:35.759><c> have</c><00:13:35.960><c> no</c><00:13:36.259><c> place</c><00:13:36.480><c> to</c><00:13:36.740><c> go.</c>

00:13:38.299 --> 00:13:40.620
And<00:13:38.480><c> you</c><00:13:38.720><c> have</c><00:13:38.860><c> to</c><00:13:39.000><c> remember</c><00:13:39.279><c> God</c><00:13:39.539><c> hasn't</c><00:13:39.860><c> told</c><00:13:40.220><c> Elijah</c>

00:13:40.620 --> 00:13:43.440

00:26:33.819 --> 00:26:36.539

00:26:36.579 --> 00:26:38.619
And<00:26:36.680><c> once</c><00:26:36.900><c> again,</c><00:26:37.140><c> we</c><00:26:37.319><c> see</c><00:26:37.460><c> the</c><00:26:37.700><c> wonder</c><00:26:37.960><c> and</c><00:26:38.180><c> the</c><00:26:38.359><c> wisdom</c>

00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:06.940

00:27:12.640 --> 00:27:14.200
When<00:27:12.740><c> he</c><00:27:12.900><c> had</c><00:27:13.059><c> come</c><00:27:13.220><c> to</c><00:27:13.400><c> Horeb,</c><00:27:13.640><c> as</c><00:27:13.779><c> we</c><00:27:13.960><c> mentioned,</c>

00:27:14.200 --> 00:27:15.500

00:27:15.500 --> 00:27:17.460
and<00:27:15.680><c> God's</c><00:27:16.000><c> will</c><00:27:16.140><c> was</c><00:27:16.619><c> going</c><00:27:16.900><c> in</c><00:27:17.099><c> the</c><00:27:17.200><c> other</c>

00:27:19.980 --> 00:27:21.779
And<00:27:20.319><c> how</c><00:27:20.519><c> did</c><00:27:20.680><c> God</c><00:27:20.920><c> change</c><00:27:21.279><c> his</c><00:27:21.559><c> heart?</c>

00:27:21.779 --> 00:27:23.440
Because<00:27:22.079><c> he</c><00:27:22.279><c> saw</c><00:27:22.539><c> all</c><00:27:22.799><c> those</c><00:27:23.039><c> powers</c>

00:27:25.259 --> 00:27:26.099
No.

00:27:26.299 --> 00:27:27.240
And<00:27:26.500><c> how</c><00:27:26.619><c> do</c><00:27:26.759><c> we</c><00:27:26.819><c> know</c><00:27:27.000><c> that?</c>

00:27:27.339 --> 00:27:29.299
Because<00:27:27.700><c> twice</c><00:27:28.180><c> God</c><00:27:28.380><c> appeals</c><00:27:28.759><c> to</c><00:27:29.119><c> Elijah,</c>

00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:30.500
just<00:27:29.640><c> like</c><00:27:29.940><c> oftentimes,</c>

00:27:30.900 --> 00:27:33.319
he<00:27:31.039><c> has</c><00:27:31.259><c> to</c><00:27:31.460><c> appeal</c><00:27:31.599><c> to</c><00:27:31.779><c> us</c><00:27:31.960><c> more</c><00:27:32.200><c> than</c><00:27:32.380><c> once.</c>

00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:36.680
God<00:27:33.720><c> didn't</c><00:27:33.980><c> say,</c><00:27:34.180><c> Elijah,</c><00:27:34.539><c> what</c><00:27:34.680><c> are</c><00:27:34.799><c> you</c><00:27:34.920><c> doing</c><00:27:35.099><c> here</c><00:27:35.359><c> at</c>

00:27:39.160 --> 00:27:40.779
And<00:27:39.359><c> Elijah</c><00:27:39.579><c> said,</c><00:27:39.799><c> oh,</c><00:27:39.940><c> I</c><00:27:40.000><c> shouldn't</c><00:27:40.180><c> be</c><00:27:40.400><c> doing</c><00:27:40.539><c> that</c>

00:27:40.779 --> 00:27:42.259
and<00:27:40.920><c> changed</c><00:27:41.140><c> his</c><00:27:41.400><c> mind.</c>

00:27:42.460 --> 00:27:43.759
God<00:27:42.660><c> has</c><00:27:42.859><c> to</c><00:27:43.000><c> ask</c><00:27:43.099><c> him</c><00:27:43.259><c> a</c><00:27:43.380><c> second</c><00:27:43.559><c> time,</c>

00:27:43.779 --> 00:27:45.619

00:27:45.700 --> 00:27:47.940
What<00:27:45.799><c> are</c><00:27:45.900><c> you</c><00:27:46.119><c> arguing</c><00:27:46.380><c> against</c><00:27:46.700><c> my</c><00:27:46.980><c> people?</c>

00:27:49.380 --> 00:27:52.859
So<00:27:50.099><c> those</c><00:27:50.480><c> three</c><00:27:51.119><c> miraculous,</c><00:27:51.940><c> you</c><00:27:51.940><c> know,</c>

manifestations<00:27:53.539><c> of</c><00:27:53.759><c> God</c><00:27:53.960><c> power</c><00:27:54.160><c> didn't</c><00:27:54.400><c> change</c><00:27:54.779><c> him.</c>

00:27:56.559 --> 00:27:59.500
But<00:27:56.680><c> the</c><00:27:56.900><c> power</c><00:27:57.160><c> of</c><00:27:57.400><c> the</c><00:27:57.599><c> still</c><00:27:57.759><c> small</c><00:27:58.059><c> voice</c><00:27:58.400><c> did.</c>

00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:03.539
And<00:28:00.519><c> Elijah</c><00:28:00.880><c> experienced</c><00:28:02.299><c> its</c><00:28:02.859><c> power</c>

00:28:16.220 --> 00:28:18.819
God<00:28:16.819><c> didn't</c><00:28:17.119><c> condemn</c><00:28:17.539><c> him.</c>

00:28:19.279 --> 00:28:22.799
He<00:28:19.440><c> rebuked</c><00:28:19.839><c> him,</c><00:28:20.140><c> but</c><00:28:20.339><c> in</c><00:28:20.460><c> a</c><00:28:20.680><c> loving</c><00:28:20.920><c> and</c><00:28:21.279><c> gentle</c><00:28:21.779><c> manner.</c>

00:28:22.819 --> 00:28:26.299
And<00:28:23.279><c> he</c><00:28:23.460><c> challenged</c><00:28:23.900><c> him</c><00:28:24.660><c> to</c><00:28:25.160><c> recommit</c><00:28:25.579><c> himself</c>

00:28:26.299 --> 00:28:29.099
and<00:28:26.660><c> devote</c><00:28:26.900><c> himself</c><00:28:27.420><c> to</c><00:28:27.619><c> the</c><00:28:27.839><c> salvation</c><00:28:28.380><c> of</c><00:28:28.660><c> the</c><00:28:28.819><c> people.</c>

00:28:29.460 --> 00:28:32.180
So<00:28:29.660><c> when</c><00:28:30.319><c> Elijah</c><00:28:30.859><c> leaves</c><00:28:31.259><c> Mount</c><00:28:31.599><c> Horeb</c>

00:43:24.679 --> 00:43:29.320
is<00:43:24.860><c> to</c><00:43:25.079><c> allow</c><00:43:25.280><c> his</c><00:43:25.639><c> principles</c><00:43:26.340><c> into</c><00:43:27.500><c> our</c><00:43:28.400><c> lives.</c>

00:43:33.460 --> 00:43:37.519
So<00:43:33.699><c> the</c><00:43:34.539><c> chronology</c><00:43:35.340><c> is</c><00:43:36.239><c> in</c><00:43:36.420><c> the</c><00:43:36.579><c> notes.</c>

00:43:38.159 --> 00:43:39.559
Well,<00:43:38.360><c> one</c><00:43:38.619><c> point</c><00:43:38.760><c> I</c><00:43:38.880><c> will</c><00:43:39.119><c> point</c><00:43:39.380><c> out</c>

00:43:39.559 --> 00:43:43.159
is<00:43:39.719><c> that</c><00:43:40.099><c> Elijah</c><00:43:40.420><c> has</c><00:43:40.699><c> 15</c><00:43:41.119><c> more</c><00:43:41.400><c> years</c><00:43:41.739><c> after</c><00:43:42.059><c> Mount</c><00:43:42.300><c> Horeb.</c>

00:43:43.599 --> 00:43:46.539
The<00:43:43.880><c> majority</c><00:43:44.380><c> of</c><00:43:44.559><c> his</c><00:43:44.860><c> ministry</c><00:43:45.280><c> will</c><00:43:45.599><c> take</c><00:43:45.880><c> place</c><00:43:46.179><c> now</c>

00:43:46.539 --> 00:43:48.639
after<00:43:47.039><c> he</c><00:43:47.239><c> leaves</c><00:43:47.519><c> Mount</c><00:43:47.840><c> Horeb.</c>

00:43:48.880 --> 00:43:51.719
The<00:43:49.059><c> first</c><00:43:49.360><c> three</c><00:43:49.559><c> and</c><00:43:49.739><c> a</c><00:43:49.739><c> half</c><00:43:49.920><c> years</c><00:43:50.179><c> were</c><00:43:50.360><c> lived</c><00:43:50.519><c> in</c><00:43:50.739><c> isolation.</c>

00:43:52.500 --> 00:43:54.320
He<00:43:52.900><c> talked</c><00:43:53.159><c> to</c><00:43:53.440><c> no</c><00:43:53.619><c> one</c><00:43:53.820><c> basically.</c>

00:43:54.380 --> 00:43:57.239
We<00:43:54.480><c> don't</c><00:43:54.639><c> know</c><00:43:54.739><c> what</c><00:43:54.860><c> happened</c><00:43:55.219><c> prior</c><00:43:55.639><c> to</c><00:43:55.860><c> chapter</c><00:43:56.179><c> 17.</c>

00:43:57.300 --> 00:43:59.500
So<00:43:57.440><c> if</c><00:43:57.559><c> he</c><00:43:57.659><c> had</c><00:43:57.840><c> a</c><00:43:57.940><c> portion</c><00:43:58.159><c> of</c><00:43:58.320><c> his</c><00:43:58.559><c> ministry</c><00:43:58.820><c> before</c><00:43:59.260><c> then,</c>

00:43:59.539 --> 00:44:02.059
if<00:43:59.659><c> it</c><00:43:59.800><c> was</c><00:43:59.980><c> a</c><00:44:00.059><c> public</c><00:44:00.360><c> ministry,</c><00:44:00.719><c> we</c><00:44:00.860><c> don't</c><00:44:01.099><c> know.</c>

00:44:02.820 --> 00:44:08.739
But<00:44:03.119><c> he</c><00:44:03.260><c> will</c><00:44:03.460><c> spend</c><00:44:03.719><c> 15</c><00:44:04.260><c> years</c><00:44:05.579><c> after</c><00:44:07.179><c> Mount</c><00:44:07.460><c> Horeb.</c>

00:44:09.320 --> 00:44:11.000
And<00:44:09.519><c> when</c><00:44:09.599><c> we</c><00:44:09.780><c> come</c><00:44:09.920><c> to</c><00:44:10.119><c> Second</c><00:44:10.320><c> Kings</c><00:44:10.659><c> Two,</c>

00:44:11.039 --> 00:44:14.000
we<00:44:11.199><c> see</c><00:44:11.380><c> the</c><00:44:11.619><c> results</c><00:44:12.059><c> of</c><00:44:12.320><c> those</c><00:44:12.539><c> 15</c><00:44:12.920><c> years</c>

00:44:14.179 --> 00:44:17.239
where<00:44:14.699><c> God,</c><00:44:15.159><c> not</c><00:44:15.400><c> Elijah,</c><00:44:16.119><c> God</c><00:44:16.519><c> orchestrates</c>

00:44:17.239 --> 00:44:19.420
that<00:44:17.480><c> Elijah</c><00:44:17.760><c> will</c><00:44:17.920><c> go</c><00:44:18.099><c> from</c><00:44:18.380><c> city</c><00:44:18.659><c> to</c><00:44:18.900><c> city</c>

00:44:19.420 --> 00:44:21.519
and<00:44:20.059><c> out</c><00:44:20.300><c> will</c><00:44:20.440><c> come</c><00:44:20.599><c> the</c><00:44:20.800><c> sons</c><00:44:20.940><c> of</c><00:44:21.119><c> the</c><00:44:21.280><c> prophets</c>

00:44:21.519 --> 00:44:24.960
because<00:44:21.900><c> God</c><00:44:22.139><c> has</c><00:44:22.460><c> told</c><00:44:22.659><c> them</c><00:44:22.960><c> Elijah</c><00:44:23.300><c> and</c><00:44:23.500><c> Elisha</c><00:44:23.800><c> are</c><00:44:24.039><c> coming.</c>

00:44:25.119 --> 00:44:27.159
And<00:44:25.320><c> this</c><00:44:25.579><c> man</c><00:44:25.760><c> who</c><00:44:25.960><c> has</c><00:44:26.079><c> now</c><00:44:26.239><c> become</c><00:44:26.500><c> the</c><00:44:26.780><c> leader</c>

00:44:27.159 --> 00:44:29.139
of<00:44:27.579><c> this</c><00:44:27.780><c> group</c><00:44:28.000><c> of</c><00:44:28.340><c> prophets,</c>

00:44:29.340 --> 00:44:31.280
and<00:44:29.460><c> no</c><00:44:29.639><c> doubt,</c><00:44:29.980><c> hopefully</c><00:44:30.280><c> you</c><00:44:30.380><c> can</c><00:44:30.619><c> see</c><00:44:30.780><c> the</c><00:44:31.019><c> connection</c>

00:44:31.280 --> 00:44:33.440
between<00:44:31.760><c> strengthening</c><00:44:32.260><c> this</c><00:44:32.559><c> group</c><00:44:32.800><c> of</c><00:44:33.139><c> prophets</c>

00:44:36.179 --> 00:44:38.679
there's<00:44:36.579><c> a</c><00:44:36.760><c> line</c><00:44:36.920><c> that</c><00:44:37.119><c> runs</c><00:44:37.519><c> in</c><00:44:37.840><c> connection.</c>

00:44:38.739 --> 00:44:40.480
Elijah<00:44:39.139><c> has</c><00:44:39.400><c> heard</c><00:44:39.639><c> God</c><00:44:39.840><c> at</c><00:44:39.980><c> Mount</c><00:44:40.219><c> Horeb</c>

00:44:40.480 --> 00:44:42.900
and<00:44:40.559><c> he's</c><00:44:40.719><c> gone</c><00:44:40.920><c> out</c><00:44:41.199><c> and</c><00:44:41.539><c> he</c><00:44:41.699><c> obeyed</c><00:44:42.219><c> that</c><00:44:42.420><c> command.</c>

00:44:42.900 --> 00:44:46.000
And<00:44:43.480><c> as</c><00:44:43.719><c> he</c><00:44:43.860><c> goes</c><00:44:44.079><c> from</c><00:44:44.380><c> city</c><00:44:44.639><c> to</c><00:44:44.820><c> city,</c><00:44:45.159><c> here</c><00:44:45.340><c> is</c><00:44:45.579><c> their</c><00:44:45.760><c> leader.</c>

00:44:46.099 --> 00:44:48.619
They<00:44:46.179><c> know</c><00:44:46.340><c> it's</c><00:44:46.519><c> going</c><00:44:46.619><c> to</c><00:44:46.719><c> be</c><00:44:46.920><c> taken</c><00:44:47.099><c> away</c><00:44:47.400><c> in</c><00:44:47.559><c> a</c><00:44:47.719><c> dramatic</c><00:44:48.119><c> fashion.</c>

00:44:49.059 --> 00:44:52.599
And<00:44:49.159><c> God</c><00:44:49.360><c> wants</c><00:44:49.739><c> all</c><00:44:50.380><c> of</c><00:44:50.579><c> the</c><00:44:50.840><c> prophets</c><00:44:51.179><c> in</c><00:44:51.420><c> those</c><00:44:51.679><c> cities</c><00:44:52.019><c> to</c><00:44:52.300><c> know.</c>

00:44:53.039 --> 00:44:54.340
Because<00:44:53.320><c> if</c><00:44:53.480><c> you</c><00:44:53.659><c> read</c><00:44:53.760><c> it</c><00:44:54.000><c> carefully,</c>

00:44:54.480 --> 00:44:56.800

00:45:02.900 --> 00:45:07.239
But<00:45:03.159><c> don't</c><00:45:03.599><c> fail</c><00:45:03.880><c> to</c><00:45:04.239><c> see</c><00:45:04.460><c> the</c><00:45:04.780><c> community</c><00:45:05.239><c> spirit</c><00:45:05.659><c> that</c><00:45:05.960><c> exists.</c>

00:45:10.199 --> 00:45:12.139
This<00:45:10.699><c> man</c><00:45:11.039><c> who</c><00:45:11.280><c> stood</c><00:45:11.420><c> at</c><00:45:11.639><c> Horeb</c><00:45:11.800><c> and</c><00:45:11.960><c> said,</c>

00:45:12.420 --> 00:45:16.219
I<00:45:12.420><c> alone</c><00:45:12.679><c> have</c><00:45:12.920><c> left</c><00:45:13.079><c> have</c><00:45:13.300><c> now</c><00:45:13.639><c> emerged</c><00:45:14.260><c> as</c><00:45:14.840><c> the</c><00:45:15.219><c> leader</c>

00:45:16.639 --> 00:45:19.559
of<00:45:16.960><c> this</c><00:45:17.300><c> wonderful</c><00:45:17.960><c> band</c><00:45:18.380><c> of</c><00:45:18.800><c> faithful</c><00:45:19.219><c> men</c>

00:45:23.000 --> 00:45:26.980
And<00:45:23.199><c> they</c><00:45:23.360><c> are</c><00:45:23.780><c> serving</c><00:45:24.159><c> those</c><00:45:24.699><c> who</c><00:45:25.000><c> will</c><00:45:25.280><c> listen</c><00:45:25.739><c> faithfully.</c>

00:45:27.079 --> 00:45:28.880
And<00:45:27.280><c> that</c><00:45:27.539><c> mantle</c><00:45:27.800><c> will</c><00:45:28.059><c> be</c><00:45:28.380><c> transferred</c>

00:45:31.059 --> 00:45:35.320

00:45:49.159 --> 00:45:54.360
We'll<00:45:49.579><c> conclude</c><00:45:50.179><c> with</c><00:45:51.699><c> two</c><00:45:53.300><c> points.</c>

00:45:54.699 --> 00:45:57.599

00:46:01.420 --> 00:46:03.719
I<00:46:01.659><c> don't</c><00:46:01.900><c> think</c><00:46:02.139><c> simply</c><00:46:02.500><c> because</c><00:46:02.940><c> Elijah's</c><00:46:03.559><c> name</c>
